Emerson Laine
I write dark fantasy with gothic feels and a supernatural twist She also has an unhealthy obsession with notebooks and bookcases!
Emerson Laine was born and raised in Salford, England and now lives in New Zealand with her husband and two children. She loves writing, autumn walks, reading by the fire, and devouring anything on TV with a great hook and a twist she never saw coming.
Classic memes are my favourite 😄

Currently working all hours to meet the pre-order deadline of The Awakening of Jessica Meadows. In the meantime, here's a wee snippet.....
Ethan Callahan sat in the corner booth of the only pub in Chestlewood, nursing a pint of cider. He’d been sitting there the best part of an hour, trying to come up with a reason to knock on Jessica Bancroft’s door when she suddenly walked into the pub. Ethan was not the type of guy to get nervous, in any situation, but seeing his mate for the first time sent a thrill of excitement through him that he hadn’t expected.
She ordered her drink at the bar, cast a cursory glance in his direction, and headed toward the beer garden. Ethan took a gulp of warm cider, winced at its sour taste, and plonked the glass heavily on the table, drawing attention from the barmaid who’d been hovering around him since his arrival. Jessica was not what he’d imagined. As the daughter of the infamous Neriah Bancroft he had expected … he searched for the right word and finally settled with just more. She had a look of her mother around the nose and mouth, but that was where the similarities ended. Of course, he’d only seen Neriah in pictures, and even they were faded and old, so his comparison was perhaps a little off.
One thing I like to write about is strong female characters, and with Mother's Day coming up here in New Zealand, it's the perfect time to read fiction based on strong women.

I've been away for a while, busy writing book two for the Knights of Aster, but also creating a new series to run alongside it called the Rise of the Nephilim. Book one of the Rise of the Nephilim will be available soon, but in the meantime watch this space for the short story prequel - ANGEL HUNTER.
To give you a taste - here is the blurb for the Rise of the Nephilim series:
Caelum – where Nephilim warriors fight for justice and liberty, battling against the oppressive rule of the angelic hierarchy.
Tartarus – where fallen angels plot their revenge and wait for the moment when the veil between worlds is lifted.
Earth – a place caught between worlds. Torn apart by the conflict between good and evil, and at the center, a woman whose actions could determine the fate of all three. Will she choose to fight for freedom, or will she succumb to the force of darkness that lies at the very heart of her existence?

The west wing was well known amongst the staff for unusual noises. Some even claimed to have seen her father walk the corridors while others complained of hearing a baby cry, but Emma frequented the west wing more than most and had never heard so much as a whisper except for when she was inside the attic. Up there, where Evelyn had died, she sometimes thought she heard voices - her name spoken mostly, but once or twice she'd caught the name of another drifting from behind the tapestry. She reminded herself of this as she climbed back up the stairs and took a deep breath before turning the key.
AUGUSTINE - a dark fantasy where ancient magic comes to life as a young woman seeks to hide from the terrible thing she's done, only to discover that the past has a way of catching up with you, even when it's not your own.
